I cried when my physiotherapist asked me to work on core strength while standing by bending in various directions. Failing miserably at the task – experiencing intense burning in my sides in the upright return from side bends – I frowned and said, “But my core is strong. I do oodles of crunches. I can see muscle definition.”
